\VILLIAM II. SCHLEIOHER, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

GLASS-BAR BRACKET FOR LOOMS FOR WEAVING SILK RIBBON OR FRINGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,727, dated December 16, 1890.

Application filed November 5, 1889. Serial No. 329,363. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, VTLLIAM II. SCHLEI- CHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city,in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Glass-Bar Brackets for Looms for eaviiig Silk Ribbon or Fringe; and Ido declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The invention relates to brackets for holding the glass bars of looms for weaving silk ribbon or fringe; and it consists in the improvement in the construction of said bracket, as hereinafter described.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan view of the loom-bracket; Fig. 2, a side view of the same, showing a portion of the loom-frame and the glass bars in section; Fig. 3, a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 2; Fig. 4, a bottom plan view of the yoke; Fig. 5, a vertical cross-section of a loom having my invention applied thereto; Fig. 6, an enlarged detail View of part of the bracket, and Fig. 7 an enlarged detail view of the flanged head of the yoke.-

In the drawings, A represents the wooden loom-beam; B, the bracket; 0, its cover; D, the glass bars; E, the yoke; F, the thumbscrew, which works in a thread in the yoke and fastens it to the bracket, and G the metallic plate against which the point of the said screw works. The bracket B is made of caststeel or malleable metal and so shaped as to bind at the top and sides 011 the beam A. Each lower end of the leg of the bracket is provided ferred position, and there fastened by the screw F. The glass bars D are preferably held in theirbearings by the cover 0, grooved at c c to receive the projections 61 of the bracket B, while the cover C is secured to the bracket by the screws H. p

In Fig. 5 of the drawings, K represents the spools from which the Warp passes up over the pulleys L, then down and around pulleysv M, to which are appended weights N, then up and over other pulleys L and down to beam A, where it passes under the glass bars D, and then across to the breast-beam P. The ribbon, as woven, is then wound upon the roller 0.

Q is the batten, which swings back and forth, and R the harness, which spreads the warp to allow the shuttles in the batten to pass through, the warp being stretched by means-of the weights N.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding of my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

The loom-bracket B, having the sockets l) b, in combination with the yoke E, having the heads I) flanged at 17 as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
